Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has stated that he is not afraid of being suspended from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for his insistence that the national chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu should resign.

Wike spoke on Friday, September 23, 202, during a media chat at the Government House in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State.

He lamented that the refusal of Ayu to step down and the continued support of the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar for Ayu depicts the party as a party that cannot be trusted.

The governor acknowledged that other political parties have been wooing him to join them ahead of the 2023 general elections.

During the interview, Wike blamed Ayu for the current crisis bedeviling the party.

He dared the party leaders to sanction him for alleged anti-party activities.

“The problem is that we are too arrogant and sending a message to Nigerians not to trust us. Instead of doing the right thing, Ayu was saying “I can do without Wike.”

“Of course, you can do without me but you cannot do without me in Rivers State.

“We have put ourselves into this by our actions: we are saying remove Ayu for inclusivity, not that he committed any crime.

“Give the chairmanship to the South but the leadership refused; where is the inclusivity?,” the Rivers State Governor opined.
